Nice one Peter.

OK I tested the water flow and the heater will work reliably at 0.75 Litres per minute.  It will work with less flow than that but not reliably. 

I shouldn't think anyone would use a flow less than the 0.75 but if they did they could use Nat''s washer idea.

Thanks for that Peter.

I also apologise for my earlier posts, they appear quite aggressive, think I got a little too hot under the collar!

Hang on. Have you tested that on a few jobs at that flow rate?

It's just that the L5 used to fire on a low flow rate and then change its mind half way through a house and cut out.

It firing at .75 a minute doesn't mean it will continuously through a job.

Interesting question Dave. How many hours can you work with your 250L.  And how much of the 2L does it take to clean an average house window?

I dont really no to be fair peter but it doesnt last to long after first cleans i would say around 5 hours i THINK i spend about 1 min per window for me like the one below i suppose thats classed as slow but i can't seemt to go faster than that without knowing the window is fully clean

No problem, but I didn't take them to be aggressive.  I am used to far worse than that.

Phil, No I haven't but surely at 1 lpm the heater would run without any problems as its quite a bit over the 0.75 LPM.

Surely you don't use less than 1LPM?
 
I wonder what the lowest flow rate anyone uses would be.

My pump does 6L per minute flat out. 1L would be very low indeed.

I think you will find that Jeff Brimble uses half to two thirds of a litres a min.

yes but he is an exception on the whole I would think.

[Nick_Thompson]

Call me excessive, but I prefer three to four litres a minute.

 Would that flow rate allow the water to heat up enough?

[Peter Fogwill]

Peter

Yes I did think of Jeff when I was asking the question.  And yes it would heat the water no problem at that flow rate.

Does the water not spash all over the glass frames at that amount

[Count Phil]

I use more than .75 a minute. /Just saying, the L5 tricks you. Just thought it would need longer testing at the low flow to make sure.

[Nick_Thompson]

Dave

NO, I use 3 mm jets. No splash back whatsoever.

[Peter Fogwill]

I don't know if anyone is interested but I have a relativly cheap flue avalable that attaches to the top of the heater and the exhaust can be directed to wherever is suitable.  The cost is £11 plus £3.50 delivery plus vat, Total cost £17.00  If anyone is interested I can put some on ebay.
